Of course, it was inevitable.

That the moment I resolve to start writing, I get the worst case of writer's block ever.

Which leads me to ask for your help.

Suggest a topic for me to write 500 words on. It could be a setting, a character, or even a simple emotion, noun, or one-wpord description. Be as precise or as vague as you want to be. I only ask that if I do your suggestion, you give me feedback.

Thanks.

Think of challenges that reflect modern organization or thinking, not just hardware implemented by magic. (that's a separate topic; I once drove the DM nuts by using EW/ELINT ideas for spells). Example: the DM decided to have a war. I had a cleric entitled to followers. I asked permission to roll stats for each, and that I could use the adverturer-grade ones. Took a few months out of game time, and used the high-level to distribute the equivalent of Special Forces split-A detachments to villages. Baddie king started getting ambushed outside villages. He summoned demons to go with his heavy units. My guerillas pulled ambushes -- only on the pack animals and fade away. Demons started eating his troops. That kind of sneaky.
